S0045: record field access requires a named record

Generated from rellum-diagnostics/src/db.rs.

Explanation

Named record field access works only on values whose type is a declared record. Scalars, arrays, tuples, enums, and unknown named types do not expose record fields with .field syntax.

Common causes

• using .field on a scalar, array, tuple, or enum
• using record field syntax before the base expression has the expected record type
• confusing enum variant payloads with record fields

Canonical fixes

• access a field on a record value

Before:

x = count.x

After:

x = point.x

• match an enum variant before reading its payload

Code example

x = count.x
